VETERAN BBC presenter John Humphrys has savaged the broadcaster for its “liberal bias” and claimed its out-of-touch bosses saw the Brexit vote as an unexpected “disaster” after failing to read the mood of voters.
Just two days after he retiring from the BBC Radio 4’s Today programme the Welshman called out what he saw as “poor news management” and “Kremlin”-style orders from those at the top of the corporation where he worked for 32 years. The 76-year-old recalled how the result of the June 2016 referendum “exposed a fundamental flaw in the culture of the BBC”, with baffled bosses making “no attempt to prevent that this was anything other than a disaster”.
